How to edit the same file in multiple tabs in vim? -
i edit long files in vim have blocks of code in multiple disparate places in file need going , forth between. obviously, 1 way of solving split window :split , edit each portion in different split window, , :w
in either window save whole file. , if have large enough screen have use vim on low-resolution laptop , don't want reduce screen space further splitting window.
in case, i'd edit file in multiple tabs, , treat each separate tab separate view split. can sort of mimic using :tabopen <the same filename>
once have 1 copy of file open, sort of hacky — doesn't work if i've made changes file because vim thinks i'm opening file second time.
is there way behavior want tabs in vim?
the :tab
command takes command argument.
so can this:
:tab split
this work if buffer modified, , save in either tab saves file, updating saved state in both.
